It totally baffles me! I totally recommend Tenby for a weekend - the beaches are stunning - The town is lovely too.<BR/><BR/>Hi Pig, yes it took me a while to work it out but got there in the end! The rest of the holiday didn't really pick up - i tried to write a post about it but couldn't. Mainly because poor little Betty was ill, which meant grisling, sleepness nights etc. Not the most relaxing holiday.<BR/><BR/>Hi SEM, I know, it is weird - we are so proud aren't me. bloody stupid too!<BR/><BR/>Hi Beccers, i might write about the monks one day. I tell Tom that we spent so much time on Caldey when I was little, that I was practically brought up by the monks! That's not exactly true but I did used think they were totally amazing (and a bit weird!). I just don't get the whole tea thing either. WHY GIVE TEA? WHY? <BR/><BR/>Hi SAHD, I do not get it at all. I wish someone could explain it to me. I didn't start drinking tea until I was about 28, and still I felt like it was slightly too grown-up for me. <BR/><BR/>Hi Lou, right, you've got to find out from this mum why she thought that was a good idea, i need to get to the bottom of this. Am I being really thick about all this? <BR/><BR/>Hi NMIT, oh no, poor first bloke, you probably gave him a real complex! it is strange why we refuse help, when we often obviously need it! Not all the time though, of course! <BR/><BR/>Hi Frog, oh brilliant, you know Tenby too! I love it. Before we had Betty we used to go camping on this amazing campsite that is on top of a hill just outside Tenby and it overlooks the bay and caldey island. Thoroughly recommend it if you ever go again.Elsie Buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998561385293241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-35864116596450842562007-10-07T20:48:00.000+01:002007-10-07T20:48:00.000+01:00Oh dear!

(apart from the tattoes and tea that is!) I had a similar offer the other week in the tube station at Pimlico when the escalators were broken and Iris was whinging and hungry and the platform might as well have been 5 miles away. I politely resisted, "no thanks that's fine, ha ha, I can manage". Then had to concede and managed to offend the first person by accepting someone else's offer instead! ah well, the flapjack sounded very nice!New Mum in Townhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09466770835316249362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-36854024084221561082007-10-04T17:10:00.000+01:002007-10-04T17:10:00.000+01:00I missed your posts so it is great to have you bac...I missed your posts so it is great to have you back! <BR/>Hope you had a great time on holiday.

I want to know more about your monk holidays as a child!<BR/><BR/>What conclusion did you come to on the toddler tea front? I have a couple of small nephews and remember being really surprised when we went to visit one of them (aged about 2 and a half at the time) and his mum plopped him down with a cup of tea and biscuits. It just seems really alien to me!<BR/><BR/>Hope you enjoyed your hols!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-77618280563073609522007-10-03T22:35:00.000+01:002007-10-03T22:35:00.000+01:00Why do we do that, refuse help from people, is it ...Why do we do that, refuse help from people, is it because we are women and we believe that we can do everything! great post hope yo uhad a good time xShe's like the windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075810201419237816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-29155552150999130462007-10-03T21:03:00.000+01:002007-10-03T21:03:00.000+01:00oh you are so funny, I do like reading about your ...oh you are so funny, I do like reading about your adventures.

Apparently my husband was always given tea to drink in a bottle! Your childhood holidays sound fascinating.
